You may wanna show them that we're big time now and have a Costco too. But they have one at home, so they don't wanna see that. Would you travel to NYC and wanna see their McDonald's? We can have the big city/cosmopolitan stuff but we also need something that's unique to OKC and Oklahoma too.

Costco? We have a Costco? :D

People who come here from the coasts find things like stockyard city interesting and authentic. When they come here, they wanna see something that they don't have at home.

I think you're right. This is what I didn't like about Charlotte when I drove out there for my daughter's graduation. Maybe it was just the restaurants and stores she took me to, but there wasn't much that felt authentic. Lots of new, carefully planned areas that were pretty, but lacked...soul, for want of a better word. Felt very sterile to me.

Did she take you to Dilworth? Southend? NoDa? I will agree with you though that for being an east coast city, Charlotte lacks a lot of the history and urban grit most cities in that region have. You can find history and character though if you are looking for it. Personally I like the newer, pretty developments they have and its something I wish OKC had more of.

NoDuh? This naming convention has clearly gone too far.

I agree every city has a similarly named district. I always preferred North Davidson, the real name of the district, but the city had to be trendy and call it NoDa.

Well now you're just making up words.



And we've gotta stop with these silly names for combining the letters from different words. It worked in the beginning for places like SoHo and even TriBeCa but it's gotten way outta hand. It remnds me of in How I Met Your Mother when Lilly and Marhsall were looking at an apartment in Dowisetrepla (DOwnWInd of the SEwage TREatment PLAnt).

I'm not sure where all we went. And like I say...it may have just been the parts I saw. My daughter and my ex live in a pretty nice section of town, so it may have just been their area. She DID take me to Carowinds and put me on The Intimidator. Still haven't forgiven her. lol

I miss Carowinds. Frontier City just doesn't cut it when you are used to that.
